Imagine doing all this just in the hopes of having sex because your personality and hygiene is too repulsive in your native country

Also the idea that things will change just because they go to a different country… Like it’s not possible to make decent money or pickup women in America or wherever they currently are, but it would work in China for some reason.

It's literally just Asian people fetishization combined with a crippling low self-esteem. Sometimes when I'm in a dry streak or feeling down I'll revisit /r9k/ just to remind myself how much worse it could be

Honestly, being a foreigner has cachet. It's at least a +1 to charisma.

Yeah but they'll definitely be super popular and cool in Japan because they spend a lot of time, arguably way too much time, watching Japanese cartoons.

I’m pretty sure I’m on a list and I know I would not enjoy being permanently detained in China.

Or if China suddenly needs leverage to try to get one of their citizens freed, even if you're not on a list. Or maybe, they might have actually been spies for all I know, though if they were it doesn't say great things that China was just willing to let them do their thing until they needed them for political reasons.

I still remember being paid $2k to just have conversations with a guy in china for 3 weeks because he wanted to pass his conversational part of the TOEFL. He failed 😀

You spend all day on the phone anyhow! Why don't you make a phonecall that's gonna help you and your future. All you gotta do is pick up the phone and make the call.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

I would absolutely do that, my dude, and I'm totally definitely going to do that exactly today, possibly in 3 more hours when I'm sure everyone's come off lunch.

But you gotta understand there is a 30% chance there's gonna be another person at the other end of that call.

Just go to the Philippines. If you're an old white guy, you can have your pick of beautiful young Filipinas. It's all strange and new to me, but I gather having a white husband is a big deal, maybe even a status symbol. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Thought it was just my wife, but all her friends except one are married to much older white guys. She put me onto some videos yesterday to help me understand her culture. Yeah, those girls love us white American boys.
